House Republicans elected Rep. Mike Johnson, R-La., to serve as the next speaker of the House, breaking weeks of GOP infighting that left the lower chamber frozen.
After four nomination votes, GOP lawmakers rallied behind Johnson, who was the No. 5 ranking House Republican as the conference’s vice chair. Flanked by an exuberant conference cheering his name on Tuesday, Johnson vowed he was “very confident” he could shore up the support needed to be elected speaker on the House floor.
“Democracy is messy sometimes, but it is our system. This conference that you see, this House Republican majority, is united,” Johnson said Tuesday evening.
